They know that real satisfaction and the good life are not provided by organizations, institutions, or systems. No number of great CEO's, central offices, or long range plans produce what a community can produce. People are discovering a new possibility for their lives. They have a calling. They are called. And together they call upon themselves.This possibility is idealistic, and yet it is an ideal within our grasp. It is a possibility that is both idealistic and realistic. Our culture leads us to believe that a satisfying life can be purchased. It tells us that in the place where we live, we don't have the resources to create a good life. This book reminds us that a neighborhood that can raise a child, provide security, sustain our health, secure our income, and care for our vulnerable people is within the power of our community. This book gives voice to our ideal of a beloved community. It reminds us of our power to create a hope-filled life. It assures us that when we join together with our neighbors we are the architects of the future where we want to live. 650 0 $a Community life. 650 0 $a Neighborhoods. 650 0 $a Community organization. 650 0 $a Community development. 700 1 $a Block, Peter. 710 2 $a American Planning Association. 830 0 $a BK currents book. 941 $a 2 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525040512.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825062529.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DCE59BECF3711E2BD0748D9DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
